What documentation should I have when appealing a decision?

When appealing a decision made by a Washington State disability planning agency, you will need to provide various documentation to support your claim. This includes records or evidence of your disability, professional evaluations or reports, a letter outlining your appeal, and any additional evidence that may be relevant to your case. Your letter should include the reason or reasons you are appealing the decision, such as if you believe the agency incorrectly evaluated your disability or did not consider certain qualifying factors. You should also include how long you have been dealing with your disability and how it has impacted you in terms of daily living, work, and/or school. It is also important to provide any additional evidence that may be relevant to your case. This could include medical paperwork, letters from healthcare professionals, testimonies from family and friends, or other evidence that could demonstrate your disability or show that the decision was incorrectly made. Once you have gathered all of the necessary documentation and created your letter, you have the option to either submit it to the agency electronically or through the mail. Before submitting, make sure to read through and double-check your letter for accuracy and clarity. This is a crucial step that could determine the outcome of your appeal.
